How can I remove restrictor?

I used a paper clip that I made a very small 'hook' on the end. I went into the neck of the head and hooked the O-Ring that restricts the flow.

Carefully use a paper clip or similar instrument to pull the tiny little washer out. And ONLY the tiny little washer. It might take a little while, just be patient.

I used a dental pick. You simply put the tip of the pick under the black O-Ring and remove it. It improved the flow and function measurably.

You can read some of the other reviews that tell you how, but when you get it, it's plainly visible and can be removed with needle nose pliers.

Yes. I did it myself by opening the top and pulling out the restrictor. works much better this way.

There is a filter and a flow restrictor. The filter is the first you see and it is white. The flow restrictor is in the ball assembly and is either blue or green. You can remove both, but the filter does not restrict flow, so removing the flow restrictor is enough.

EASY! arrow to the number you want to unblock, press the remove button and the display will say 'DEL". that's it.Hope that helps!

No flow restrictor. Only small sediment filter that can be easily removed by unscrewing the water-head. You can removed easily if you want. But the sediment filter does not restrict the water flow at all.

I did not try the shower head with the restrictor in. I removed it immediately. Search on youtube and decide if you think you are able to remove the restrictor.

I had one that was hard to remove but a little force got it loose. I think the manufacturer doesn't set the tolerances well in manufacturing causing them to be hard to install or remove. Good luck.

Sorry I can't help you because I'm not sure if my guy that installed it did, I know he doesn't like the restrictors and always removes them at his house, but if he didn't I have great flow its a very powerful shower head.

Remove the original coupler Take a 1/2 inch reducer to 3/8 or 1/4 And start with standard valves and quik couplers

I also wondered about that, and was hesitant to buy it. Bought it anyway, and was happily surprised: plenty of water flow. I have not tried to remove the restrictor. Be sure to clean it (soak in CLR, vinegar, etc) periodically, depending on your water's mineral content, to keep it flowing fully. You don't really notice the flow reduction which occurs slowly over time, but you will notice the improved flow after you clean it.

I bought and returned this awhile ago and don't recall whether they can be removed

Yes, remove the ones by the release link. We tried removing ones in the middle at first, then realized the ones near the release are easier.

Sorry, but no. I did not remove the flow constrictor, the product works fine as is.
